Raiders appoint Pete Carroll, John Spytek as new head coach, GM

The Las Vegas Raiders introduced Pete Carroll as their new head coach and John Spytek as general manager during a press conference, aiming to revitalize the franchise after a disappointing 4-13 season. Carroll emphasized the importance of Tom Brady's insights in their strategy, while Spytek reflected on the responsibility of improving the team's performance. Both leaders are committed to immediate action in transforming the Raiders, with Carroll stressing that playing should be enjoyable. Carroll, who previously led the Seattle Seahawks to significant achievements, conveyed that his focus is on competition rather than accolades. This marks a significant leadership change, as Carroll becomes the Raiders' third head coach in three seasons. The duo's hiring was influenced by their connections with minority owner Tom Brady, who played a key role in the selection process.
